AGA allowed for greater control over DMA fetching of video memory when building the display, which allowed for larger sprites and more varied display modes. In particular, VGA output at 31kHz was possible.

AGA was used in the CommodoreAmiga 1200 and Amiga 4000 computers. A few very rare Amiga 3000s also had AGA. Originally, the plan was to move to the AAA architecture which would have been a complete re-design of the system. Unfortunatley, management killed it only a few months before it would have been ready for production.
